window.open not working in i.e 6

Hi all,

I am trying to build a pop-up into a Web page. The pop-up should open when
clicking a button. It works fine on Mozilla, but Internet Explorer
refuses to open the pop-up. How can I make it work?
The code is:
<input type="button" value="Help"onClick="window.open('mda.php','HelpMe ','width=200,height=200,left=200,top=200,resizable ')"/>

I have change it many ways - e.g. tried opening a htm, html file instead of php. It still works on Mozilla and not I.e

put a space in before onClick
spell onClick onclick

Thanks for looking at it. I'm afraid it didn't solve the problem. Any other ideas?

I get the same when using a <href> that calls a javascript function? The function gets called but doesn't open the popup?

as per below

<a href="#" onClick="newWindow(1);">Contact Us</a><br>

<SCRIPT language="Javascript">
// declare a new JavaScript variable
var popWindow;
// declare a new function, newWindow
function newWindow(winID) {

// declare variable winURL, setting it to the name of the PHP file
// and accompanying data.
var winURL = "mda.php?winID=" + winID;
// If the popup window does not exist, or it is currently closed,
// open it.
if (!popWindow || popWindow.closed) {




popWindow = window.open(winURL,'popWindow','dependent,width=20 0,height=200,left=150,top=100');
}
// If the popup window is already open, make it active and update
// its location to winURL.
else {
popWindow.focus();
popWindow.location = winURL;
}
}
</SCRIPT>

the code you pasted actually worked fine for me you got a popup blocker doing something?

re: window.open not working in i.e 6

No first thing I checked - I did have to re install IE a while ago - I wonder wether that had anything to do with it.

re: window.open not working in i.e 6

Possibly it worked fine with IE 6

re: window.open not working in i.e 6

Thanks for your help - I have reinstalled Ie 6, still nothing and then instlled ie7 beta version still nothing...

re: window.open not working in i.e 6

This is due to enhanced security in IE6 onwards. The local file isnt within application's scope and hence wont open.

I am still trying to figure it out. Any solutions????
